My son went to Acorns Childcare Nursery for over 2 years and I can’t recommend the place enough. The staff were excellent and helped me with a lot of things throughout, that half probably wasn’t part of their job description.

I feel happy and comfortable leaving my little boy knowing he is safe and looked after by all the staff. There isn't a problem too big with routines and my childs needs that the staff won’t meet. Couldn’t recommend this nursery enough! Friendly and lovely staff.

My child has been going to Acorn Childcare Nursery Northwich since he was 1 (now 4) and in those 3 years I have no complaints at all! He has never cried being dropped off, if anything I have a bigger problem getting him to leave at the end of the day!


The staff, childcare & cleanliness are exceptional.

The staff genuinely care, they remember the little things that are important to my boy, from the management/admin team to the cooking staff and the carers they are all absolutely amazing!


The outdoor area is the best! I don’t believe you can find better in the local area. It was very important to us that he had usable outdoor space being a covid baby and acorn have it in abundance!


The meals are well structured, smell delicious (my boy assured me they are) and he eats many thing he will not entertain at home


I will be very sad when he leaves.
12/10 for acorn daycare!
They are simply the best!!

My daughter has been attending Acorn Nursery for around 15 months now and absolutely loves her days there. They do so many fun activities with them, spend lots of time outside in the garden, and her speech and development has progressed so much in her time there. The app they use is great, you can see
what they’ve ate in the day, how much sleep they’ve had and what activities they have been doing. I would definitely recommend Acorn, the staff are all lovely too which makes it so much easier when it comes to dropping them off in the morning.

My daughter has loved her time at Acorn's so far. She feels safe, has made strong connections with the staff and has made lots of friends too. It's really pleasing to see how much she has developed since she's been here and I really feel like the staff genuinely care about her. They have lots of exciting
activities and events and the food they eat is healthy and varied. The outside space is amazing! Would highly recommend it.

Absolutely fantastic, best in Northwich. My daughter has disabilities, from her second day there they had reviewed her time there and now has a 1-to-1 by the end of the second day. Nowhere else does this straight away. We also get updates of what she had eaten and how much she has eaten, photos of her
progress through the day of activities she does. I know one thing, my son will soon be going there as soon as he's ready. Wouldn't go to any other nursery, all the staff are amazing, polite and very friendly. You want your child in nursery, then this is the best place to go to.

As soon as I visited Acorns, I had 'that feeling' that it was the right place to send my son. He thoroughly enjoys his time there and spends so much time outside learning and playing. The outdoor space is vast and filled with fun. I am updated daily with all the activities he gets up to and the staff
are fantastic. Acorns is a nurturing and stimulating environment and the staff genuinely care about the children. My second son is starting next month and I know he will love it just as much as his brother. I would urge anyone looking for a nursery to visit Acorns.

Can't say enough positive things about the love, care, interest and concern this nursery and their staff have shown my son. My son has additional needs and at every step of the process, they have shown willingness and genuine care. The staff have had to learn and be trained in the care he needs and
have always been positive about this process. They have shown support for us as a family to care for him alongside us, keeping us involved whenever necessary. They have gone to extra lengths to make sure he is getting the best care and learning environment they can offer. We love this place and our son loves going!

Fantastic nursery. My son absolutely loves his days here. The staff are always incredibly cheery and helpful, and make both my son and me incredibly welcome. I always get a breakdown of how he has been, what he's had to eat, any accidents etc. He is always bringing arts and crafts projects home, as
well as cakes and other goodies they have all made.

Both of our daughters have gone to Acorns and we have been impressed in a number of ways.


The way in which the staff interact with the kids is second to none. It is lovely to hear them recount observations made in changes of character and developmental milestones. You get a real sense they care

about the children.


The outdoor space is fantastic and it is evident that a lot of thought has gone into making the nursery a great place for our girls to develop and grow.

This nursery is brilliant! My daughter stayed for over 3 years & Acorn brought her on so much & gave her the best start to life. They offer early starts which was a great help due to work commitments! Lovely staff, great facilities, the garden is amazing! Food is really nutritious & varied! The site
is secure which I like! I would definitely recommend this nursery to others!

My first child made excellent progress at the nursery and enjoyed her time there. The staff are very caring and supportive of the children and there is a good mix of experience within each room. I was most attracted to the outdoor space and facilities and the way that they use the rooms effectively.
I have now sent my youngest child there and she is settling in well. I would and do recommend the nursery to others.

I cannot recommend Acorn Nursery enough. From the moment I walked through the door both myself and my daughter were made to feel so comfortable. The garden is absolutely fabulous and was a real selling point for us. Play is encouraged outside and even in the very hot sun the children are well shaded
with canopies and kept cool with water play. All the staff really care about the children and it shows. My daughter is reluctant to leave in the evening - which is really all the evidence you need.
I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery.

Acorn is a friendly, warming place. My two children love it there. The staff are all very friendly. They have been extremely accommodating and supportive. The sessions are structured and ran by the leaders who all show passion and professionalism in their work.


The garden space is spectacular and

allows the children to explore and play in an excellent setting. I haven't seen anywhere else that offers such superb grounds.


I cannot recommend it enough!

To the team
A short note to thank you all once again for the care you provide to my children. Rarely do I write to congratulate people we pay for doing a good job; for that's what I expect. But with my children it's different, and you guys get it. We expect them to be cared for, taught, and nurtured.
Today,
once again you've gone above and beyond what we expect, and that's why I want to say thanks. My wife and I know our children are safe in your care.
However you have instilled your values into your staff and it should be bottled and sold, because they're all great at what they do. They all know our children, their traits and personalities; and this is rare - and what we are most thankful for.
Kind regards

My children went to a few nursery settings and never seemed very happy, I moved them to Acorn where they settled and actually enjoyed themselves. This is an excellent nursery with great staff and a great building with a large garden. I would endure the one hour round trip to drop them off in rush hour
just because the nursery was worth it. My children also comment on how much they enjoy Acorn food and say that they make better mashed Potato than me.

Both my children have attended Acorn Nursery. They have always been treated with care and affection, the staff are always available to listen to any concerns and attentive towards the children. My girls love the outside space which always seems to be very well used rain or shine. The facilities I feel

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.846)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.846) out of 10 for Acorn Childcare Nursery Northwich is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.949 for Acorn Childcare Nursery Northwich is calculated as follows: ( (56 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 4.949

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 3.897 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Acorn Childcare Nursery Northwich is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.5

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 63 number of registered child places is 12.6. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.6 = 0.397

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
